Blind Guardian will be part of The Dwarves video game and soundtrack. Developer King Art has announced a cooperation with the power metal band. Not only will musicians from Blind Guardian perform parts of The Dwarves OST in their own style but there will also be a special quest involving Blind Guardian in the game. To perfectly blend that into the fantasy-world of Girdlegard, the developers from King Art and Blind Guardian are cooperating closely with the author of The Dwarves book series. The Dwarves is a story-driven single-player game based on the novel by Markus Heitz.

A new video shows the visit by some developers to Blind Guardian's studio, where members of the band are playing The Dwarves for the first time.




A crowdfunding campaign for The Dwarves started, having gathered more than 4,000 backers who have pledged over 200,000$ so far - and there are still a few days of funding left. A variety of stretch goals has also been revealed. Supporters will be able to vote for either a cooperative Multiplayer, a brand-new character with its own unique skills and story, different new games modes such as New Game Plus or a Horde-Mode and more.

The German metallers released the opus Beyond The Red Mirror this year and it fits perfectly as a gaming soundtrack as well.
